I've recently started oil cleansing and its both reduced the size of my SFs and made my pores look smaller. Like, noticeable difference in less than a week.

I use this stuff (some people just use regular mineral oil or what have you, but this is the only kind that's worked for me). I'll massage it into my dry face for about 2 minutes, then follow up by washing my face with my normal cleanser.

It largely depends on where you live and how quickly you need the items. As a general rule, if you're willing to wait a bit, you can find items much cheaper from non-Prime sellers on Amazon and overseas sellers on eBay. Also, if you're just purchasing a few things and they are heavy items, I find it's usually cheaper to stay away from sites with high shipping charges by weight, like Testerkorea and RoseRoseShop.

I usually do a lot of research when I make a new product purchase to find the lowest price from a reputable seller that I can. Partly because I just like shopping online for AB stuff and partly because I make it into a sort of game to see how cheap I can find something. It's like a hobby for me.

I recommend the Honey browser extension for Amazon. If you're looking for something it will tell you if there's a cheaper price available from another seller. It also goes through available coupon codes on many other online sites to see if there's one in the database that works for your order.

Anyway, I'm not sure where you live, but I did a bit of looking (I'm in the U.S.), and this is what I came up with. I can't guarantee these are the best prices out there -- just what I found from a bit of quick looking at a few different places.

Hado Labo foam for $9.40 with free shipping on Amazon (not Prime) here

The Face Shop Cleansing Oil - $9.58 with free shipping from Jolse here or $10.20 on Amazon Prime here.

Shiseido Aging Care Sunscreen on Amazon for $8.20 with free shipping (non-Prime) here.

Rosette Aqua Ceramide Gel - $12.45 with free shipping (non-Prime) on Amazon here.

The Face Shop Cleansing Oil

Ulta stopped carrying the Burt's Bees cleansing oil, so I was looking for a replacement. I like the Face Shop one. It's cheaper and doesn't leave a residue or film after activating it with water. It also leaves your face feeling silky.

u/Cthulia · 4 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

thank you <3

LORD JESUS GIRL DON'T RUB YOUR EYELIDS RAW TRYING TO USE MICELLAR WATER TO GET THIS STUFF OFF! get thee something like jojoba/almond/grapeseed/etc oil, or a cleansing oil! i personally really like the face shop - rice water bright light cleansing oil but simple also makes a cleansing oil. there are lots if great cleansing oils, don't feel constricted to the two i mentioned!

u/madipadifofaddy · 4 pointsr/Accutane

I use Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil to break down makeup then the cleansing foam to remove the remaining remnants, then to be sure - I use Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water on a cotton square. I wear full-coverage foundation and I set it with powder so it's pretty hard to remove.

u/MarzipanShibe · 4 pointsr/AsianBeauty

HL's cleansing foam didn't do me any good either. But I switched to Su:m32's Cleansing Rose Stick and it's been amazing since. (Please note: if you are allergic to coconut, don't use this.)

My BF is on the CosRX good morning cleansing foam and hasn't had any issues yet and he has more acne-prone skin than I do.

I don't wear foundation or heavy makeup usually, so I don't normally have to worry about getting my skin rid of all of that stuff. when I do wear it, I have a 50/50 chance of either just using my cleansing stick or using my oil cleanser which is The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright cleansing oil.

I haven't had any issues with the oil causing any clogging or acne issues. I'd look up reviews for both and see what you think. The cleansing stick is more expensive than the oil, but you use /so little of it/ for each cleanse that honestly it will last you a long long time even with daily use. I normally use one pump of the oil (1/2 pump at a time) but it does naturally seem to go faster than the rest of my stuff.

I think that no matter what products you get though, the initial cost for them is going to be over 20$ just because of shipping and all that.

u/OrganicSprout · 4 pointsr/RedPillWives

I just ordered a bunch of stuff!

I've always had an issue with acne. Early on I developed CSP (r/compulsiveskinpicking). Of course I didn't know this until recently and am working on it with my therapist. It's a small part of a larger issue.

However, my battle recently has been with my sebaceous filaments and blackheads. So I am going to follow this. I ordered the following:

u/bigdog2525 · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

wow - do you really use 3 cleansers at night?? my skin is feeling dry just thinking about that. I would switch to an oil cleanser, as was already suggested. I like the Rice Shop one: https://www.amazon.com/Facial-Cleanser-Natural-Cleansing-Moisturizer/dp/B00809ERAM

u/space-honey · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Warning: long rambling comment ahead. My skin has recently been dry and acne-prone as well. I'm not as much of a skincare expert as some of the folks around here, but I'll tell you what's worked for me.

  • Cleansing with an oil. This may sound silly if you get breakouts and YMMV, but I've found they clean my skin well without drying. I've used sunflower oil from Walmart in the past and a lot of people here swear by this mineral oil that is marketed for polishing wood.

    Alternately, you could try a Cleansing Oil type product, which are sold for the purpose of skincare and usually contain an emulsifier to make it easier to wash the oil off your face. A lot of Asian lines sell cleansing oils; I've used and liked this one. Currently, I am using a solid oil product from Clinique. It's marketed as a makeup remover but I find it cleanses my skin very well on its own. I sometimes follow it up with a cleanser but I don't seem to need to if I wash the oil off thoroughly. Oils are the gentlest way I've found to cleanse my skin, and I'd recommend them to anyone with dry skin. Just avoid the highly comedogenic ones (e.g. coconut oil) and know that you might have to test a few before you find one you love. I just saw that you've ordered hemp seed and argan oils; I have a feeling you'll like them. (Side note: argan oil is a wonder drug. I use it basically like a serum, rubbing it into my skin and just letting it on.)

  • I ditched my benzoyl peroxide products after it became apparent to me that they dried my skin out without doing all that much to help my acne. Are you putting the BP on your whole face or just using it as a spot treatment?

    Most (helpful) acne products I've found are drying to some extent, so I weigh the benefits against the side effects, meaning that a drying product has to be pretty damn amazing at fighting zits if I'm going to use it. Benzoyl Peroxide was not that product for me, unfortunately, though it may be for you. I found that it sped up the healing process of spots only minimally compared to doing nothing to them, so I threw it out. I've replaced it with Stridex pads and Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion. Like I said, they are quite drying (the Buffering Lotion actually has alcohol in it) but they offer enough tangible benefits that I am willing to accept that.

    I use the Stridex pads 2-3 times a week, and only on areas where I have sebaceous filaments, blackheads, and breakouts. I know a lot of people here love them for SFs, but I've found they shrink cystic spots pretty quickly as well. They smell weird and sting, especially if you put on moisturizer too soon after using them, but they work really well.

    The Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion is a great spot treatment, and the only product that's ever helped me with cysts that are still under the skin. I've actually used it on deep cysts before and had them disappear before ever coming to a head; it's like magic!

  • I've recently started using honey as a mask and it's one of the few things that has helped moisturize my skin while simultaneously shrinking zits. You may not be into using a mask and, if you try this, you will feel like a sticky lunatic until you wash it off. It's a very gentle treatment though and quite calming on days when my skin feels extra dry and irritated. Some people will use raw honey but I just bought a cheap generic bottle after checking that the only ingredient listed was honey. You literally just slather it on your face and let it sit for a bit; I usually read for about an hour before washing it off with water. The next day my skin is soft and my spots are smaller.

    I hope at least some of that giant comment was helpful to you! One last thing I would recommend is adding an additional moisturizer at night. You said that the AHA cream helps with your PIH so I wouldn't stop using that, but you could always layer another moisturizer with it to combat the dryness. As long as neither product breaks you out I don't see the harm in using two! I have no specific recommendations on a moisturizer as I've been looking for one myself (just bought this one though and it looks promising) but I'd look for something richer and non-comedogenic.

    Edit: Sorry for the wonky formatting, I do not know how to fix it!
u/scarieb · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Looking for recommendations for a new cleansing oil - still seeking my HG. My top two favorites so far are Fresh Seaberry Skin Nutrition Cleansing Oil and The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil. I'd love something that's somewhere in between these two in terms of texture and emollience.

u/buyingaddict · 3 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Ahh, I almost bought this just this morning. I'm glad I passed on it. That's disappointing! Maybe because it's the light version? I have a cleansing oil from the same brand that worked fine for my waterproof eye makeup. Did you let it sit for a few seconds before emulsifying it with adding a bit of water, then rubbing a bit more? Lathering it up by adding a bit of water helps.

If you read the review on amazon, they mostly say to get something else as eye makeup remover just cause it's so liquidy and might get in your eyes easily.

Also, I was kinda disappointed this wasn't about your dad. :P

u/sprengertrinker · 2 pointsr/AskWomen

I've fallen in love with this Rice/Jojoba oil mix:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00809ERAM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I massage a couple pumps in before I get in the shower, and the jojoba oil has consequently helped my nails as well!

u/olliepop88 · 2 pointsr/AsianBeauty
  1. I had issues with the DHC oil as well. In fact, I had trouble with Shu Uemura's cleansing oils so much that I was breaking out in closed comedones all over my forehead. You should definitely ditch them and switch over to a lighter formulation. I suggest The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Cleansing Light Oil. Additionally, if you're in the mood to try something new, I highly recommend Banila's cleansing balms. They even have a special formulation for sensitive skin called Clean It Zero Purity.

  2. Seeing that your main concern is hyper pigmentation, I would up usage of the AHA serum. If you find that you're handling it well, up it to once every other night. Of course, seeing that you have sensitive skin, I would approach cautiously.
u/IncognitoDoorknob · 2 pointsr/AsianBeauty

I really like The Face Shop Rice Water Bright cleansing oil. It's light, effective, pleasant smell, decently priced, and works really well.

u/chemkara · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

You can use the oil cleanser everyday at night with no problem, just make sure to massage it on dry skin for a minute or so focusing on the areas with the most SF. Wash it off then follow up with the regular cleanser, you can use Mia with it or not, it’s up to you.

I prefer the Asian oil cleansers and at the moment I use The Face Shop Oil Cleanser since I can get it easily in NY. But the drugstore has good ones as well, BurtsBee and Simple are good ones too.

u/flying_doughnut · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

The Face Shop's Rice Water Cleansing Oil

It's cheap from Amazon (and though it's not prime from the seller that is linked, it doesn't take too long for shipping) and it feels really nice.

u/zikadu · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Some people just don't react well to certain oils. Maybe patch test if you decide to try it again, or use a different oil. I use an oil cleanser that has emulsifiers in it so that it can be rinsed off with water. Amazon Link: The Face Shop - Rice Water Bright - Cleansing Light Oil. I've been using this for a few weeks and really like it for double cleansing (oil first to dissolve makeup and sebum, rinse, low-ph cleanser to remove any excess and balance ph).

You can also add emulsifier (polysorbate 80) to any oil at a 10:1 oil to emulsifier ratio to make your own. I haven't tried this myself, but I saw it in a post on either /r/asianbeauty or /r/skincareaddiction. The post, if I'm remembering correctly, recommended rice bran oil since it's pretty neutral and unlikely to trigger an allergic reaction.

u/petitfolieadeux · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I use The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Oil to remove makeup, then I follow with Bioderma Micellar water to make sure everything's off.

u/hell0potato · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

There is tons of info on oils in the skincare subreddit, but I think any oil would do. Personally, I use this and love it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00809ERAM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

u/bethrevis · 1 pointr/muacjdiscussion

Cleansing oil recommendation: The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright. It smells lovely and feels like silk on your skin!

eta: link

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

Hello!! Oh my goodness I have SO MANY KB faves - Mizon, Tony Moly, Missha, Ladykin are all great for skin and makeup products. Hado Labo is a Japanese brand, but their lotion (what we think of as a toner here in the US) makes my skin happy as a bushel of clams.

Current fave makeup product: Tony Moly Cat's Wink Clear Pact helps me keep my skin in check during the day. I feel like this is a boring thing to have as a fave, I'm here to learn about/work up the courage to try new things.

Fave skin care product: The Face Shop Rice Water Cleansing Oil is a game changer. My skin routine is pretty extensive, but this is the starting point and gets alllllll my makeup and sunscreen off with a few second of very gentle rubbing. It makes washing your face at night so much easier and more enjoyable. =)

u/-Siv- · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

Has anyone used this cleanser before? I'm looking for a new one and I'm kinda new to the whole oil cleanser thing.

u/ripewdecay · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

I thought I would like double cleaning but it made my skin dry, tight, and freak out. http://www.amazon.com/The-Face-Shop-Bright-Cleansing/dp/B00809ERAM I used the face shop's rice water line. It was primarily the cream cleanser component that my skin didn't like- it reminds me of clearasil. I know you're supposed to moisturize the fuck out of your skin afterwards but I think it cleans "too much." I use Philosphy Microdelivery wash from sephora and it cleans well enough that it's not all tight and dry but not pizza face at the same time.

I was underwhelmed with laneige's water bank mask too. It's kind of like a glorified sheet mask without the sheet portion. I'd rather slather my face in Cerave which is what I do when my skin gets dry.

And I don't care for Mizon's snail recovery gel. It's like an inferior sheetless mask.

(I like sheet masks obvz. )

And things I expected to hate but ended up liking: Dr. Jart's BB. I don't like traditional Korean BB's because they're too pinkish for my skin tone (I'm a beigey yellow.) It's easy to put on too much and look awful. This one was not awful though. I like Dr. Jart's ceramine lotion too. skin looks great after I use it.

u/pioneer2 · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Yeah, I haven't used the Simple cleansers myself, but they were recommended to me by a friend. I used to use the Boots Botanics Hydrating Booster Cleanser up until a year ago, before I switched to my current cleanser, and I think it was pretty good.

If you feel all soapy cleansers dry you out, then maybe try some oil cleansers or cleansing balms?

u/neekowmoo · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

I have really acne prone skin also and have found that The Face Shop Rice Cleaning Oil works really well for me! I go in and double cleanse afterwards with my CosRX Good Morning Gel cleanser. Another oil cleanser that didn't break me out is The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil, this was actually my first cleansing oil I ever used. It works really well but I prefer the first one I mentioned just cause it's a lot cheaper hehe.

To answer your last question, it is definitely something you should worry about. I have tried a couple cleansing oils while still double cleansing after, and was able to tell that some specific cleansing oils were breaking me out.

Links of the cleansing oils I use, if you're interested:

u/xoxgoodbye · 1 pointr/femalefashionadvice

I have oily skin, and have found that even the Neutrogena deep clean cream cleanser is too drying for me. Try using CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, or just any cleanser that has ceramides and niacinamide to rebuild your skin barrier. Also, maybe try switching makeup removers, and use something more gentle (ie. an oil cleanser)? Towelettes can function as physical exfoliants, so using it on a daily basis might thin out your skin even more. I use The Faceshop Rice Water Cleansing Oil, which is about $15 in store and it's great. There's also one from The Body Shop, otherwise I can't really think of drugstore brands atm. I know some people who use coconut oil and olive oil to remove their makeup, so maybe try those as well?

Have you thought about using a hydrating serum or oil before your moisturizer?

u/blindf0ld · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

The cleansing oil I started using is by The Face Shop. It says it's made with Maringa Oil? TBH, I'm not that experienced with cleansing/mineral oils because my face never really needed it, but I purchased this one on a whim because I thought it would up my face game.

u/wildeflowers · 1 pointr/30PlusSkinCare

Both of the sunscreens you mentioned are good sunscreen. Yeah, the kind of sunscreen I'm talking about has to come from overseas, so if time is of the essence I'd get the Obagi one. It's more cosmetically elegant than the neutrogena one. I'd just reapply after a few hours of sun exposure.

yeah aloe gel is not a cleanser and will certainly not remove sunscreen. If she's older and dealing with sun damage I'd try an oil cleanser first, which will help remove the sunscreen from the day. I like this one personally and it's cheap and rinses clean.. Some people use a second ph balanced foaming cleanser as a second step, but that is optional and I can't do it because my skin is too dry. I'd just start with one cleansing step at first. The clean and clear may be too harsh for her, but I don't know. You could try it.

She should wash her face first at night, then the rest of the steps. She may not need to wash in the AM. I don't myself, just splash with water. If she's oily or feels the need, she absolutely can start with a wash in the AM as well.

She can probably use the glycolic every other day to start, then up it to every day. physical exfoliant if you get it once a week to start.

I also want to add that it's really important that you don't throw all these new products at her all at once. She could have a reaction or break out and before a wedding that wouldn't be ideal. Start her with a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen at first. Then after a week or so, add the C serum. Then after another week or so the toner. If she had a reaction and started everything at once, you'd never know which was the problem.

u/Hisui_Bara · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Yeah the oil I use is facial cleaning oil from the face shop. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00809ERAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_U6V3CbEH3RG7D I love the way this and the cream cleanser combined make my soon feel smooth at least at night. I'll definitely have to check out your recommendations as they seem pretty well priced.

u/Sanguinem7 · 1 pointr/Makeup

Cleansing oils like this are great for removing makeup. I like my cleansing oil because it tends to leave my face softer afterwards than if I were to just cleanse with a water based cleanser, it's a great alternative for makeup remover wipes. You can wash off an oil-based cleanser with water or follow up with a water-based cleanser. :)

u/vag--abond · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Seconding the OCM and BHA tip. I use this oil cleanser and this BHA and they've done wonders to shrink the pores on my nose. FWIW I have combo skin with large pores. I've recently switched to a mostly Asian skincare product routine and my skin has never looked better!

u/ktlene · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

I used to have really intense oily skin, and I've found double cleansing to help immensely! I use The Body Shop cleansing oil to remove my make up and then Glossier's Milky Jelly Cleanser to actually wash my face (since it doesn't take off make up completely). My face is really sensitive to all those foaming cleansers. No matter how "gentle" those things claim to be, my face always sting and feel way too tight afterwards. The Glossier cleanser is very gentle, and I used it when I first switched to tretinoin and it made my skin really sensitive.

u/TeddyGramz88 · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Me personally, I use cleansing oils. I used the hydrating makeup remover wipes from Neutrogena for years before I found cleansing oils. I tried micellular water and I’m not a fan. I don’t like the tugging feeling of cotton on my face and I didn’t feel like it removed all of my makeup.

Cleansing oils on dry skin followed by gentle cleanser has been amazing for me. I use the hydrating cleanser by La Roche Posay and it’s HG for me. Love love love it.

For cleansing oils, I’m still in the process of finding my HG. I have used the neutrogena one and wasn’t a big fan. I tried the one by Simple and also wasn’t a huge fan. So far Burts Bees oil has been my favorite. Trader Joe’s sells an exact dupe for $6. That one is nice too. Also, The Face Shop sells one that is really light. I got it on amazon and I’ve been using that for the last month or so. I actually just picked up a new one today made by Palmers. So I’m gonna try that out tonight. Links ;

u/bekahfromspace · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

One thing that will help is switching to a more gently cleanser at night besides the wipes. Wipes are good to take when traveling, but using everyday is going to irritate your skin. I've used all the cleansers under the sun and the best thing has been rice water. It's especially perfect for normal to dry skin because it doesn't strip the skin of all of it's oils like other cleansers can.

One of the best masks for hydration and evening skin tone are donkey milk sheet masks. I'll also recommend the Hado Labo Perfect Mask.

u/zelday · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

Hey! I was actually using the 3-step cleansing system when I discovered this subreddit in July.

I was dealing with tons of breakouts. Upon educating myself on here I stopped using the toner (very, very harsh and astringent) and added this oil cleanser to my routine: https://www.amazon.com/Facial-Cleanser-Natural-Cleansing-Moisturizer/dp/B00809ERAM/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1509735613&sr=8-3&keywords=the+face+shop+rice+water+cleansing+oil&dpID=410zyPKCC3L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

This probably won't really answer your question, but I added in a daily sunscreen at the same time I added in the cleansing oil. I think the clinique face soap would have been fine at removing the sunscreen, but I know for a fact it was all gone after adding in the oil cleanser.

I also added in a lotion (this one: https://www.amazon.com/Hada-Labo-Hadalabo-Gokujun-Hyaluronic/dp/B00BSNBO9O/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1509735804&sr=1-1&keywords=hada+labo+gokujyun+hyaluronic+acid+lotion ) in the place where I was using the clinique toner.

I think making these changes def. helped my skin and I saw improvement.

Don't think I really answered your question....but I kept using the step 3 clinique lotion for a while too, after beginning my AB journey until I spent a few weeks with each new product. Good luck with everything! Let me know what works!! :)

u/linyiseating · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

Oh, SF are one of the biggest issues I have too! I tried Fiddy's method and no grits came out for me last week but I probably have to do it consistently, like once a week. I did find that using a oil cleanser helped in reducing the size of the SF, right now I'm using [DHC Oil Cleanser] (https://www.amazon.com/DHC-Deep-Cleansing-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B001UE60E0) but may try the [Muji Cleansing Oil] (http://www.muji.us/store/sensitive-skin-oil-cleansing-6-76-fl-oz-200ml-1.html) or the [Face Shop Rice Water Cleansing Oil] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00809ERAM/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001UE60E0&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=KCN504M4B7ERDFN953S1) since DHC is rather pricey.
